netcfg tray icon v3

steve-e · 2009-06-28 11:09:33

Hey,

there seems to be a small bug with profiles named "some_thing". The underscore is not escaped and therefore interpreted by the UI as a short-cut hint.

Anyway, nice utility!

eldragon · 2009-07-03 13:44:06

bug reports:
- when i come back from suspend, the network is not restored (netcfg-tray reports its still connected to the network).

- when hitting auto-wireless button, it does not disconnect whichever profile is on before probing. a net-auto stop / start should be better. although this could be a netcfg2 bug. if it tries to connect to the same profile, it reports a successful connection but it always fails.

The university's network starts with 'a'. My home network starts with 'd'. At the moment I only have these two profiles. It always tries to connect to the uni's network even though it is not reachable. It never find my home-network.

I got the exact same problem. My first profile (alphabetically) is named eduroam, and auto-wireless will ALWAYS try to connect to that one, doesn't matter if it's available or wherever I am.

Tvale,
Do you have a ESSID={} entry in your profiles? netcfg-auto uses this field. Before I only had ESSID identities in my wpa_supplicant.

Indeed, my bad!
Works like a charm now, tyvm!

Awesome project, please continue!
This seems to be absolutely the best gui for netcfg out there.

I just have one question for you: what's the name and the path of the icon showing up when netcfg is connected?
I really can't find it and i need to change it!

Thank you very much!

Ok, it has been quite hard for me, but i finally managed how to change the "connected" icon in netcfg-tray.

Normally, netcfg-tray uses stock gtk icons and i didn't find a way to change them...so what i've done was to directly edit the code of /usr/bin/netcfg-tray.

Basically you have to change:

self.statusIcon.set_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_NETWORK)

with:

self.statusIcon.set_from_file("/usr/share/icons/netcfg-tray/netcfg-tray.png")

Of course you have to write the right path to the desired image.

And that's all! Now you can have the icon you like on the tray!

Thank you iphitus for this wonderful app!

Any help???

I can confirm this problem too, i had exactly the same output.
I "solved" installing directly the package linked in the first page of this topic.

Run makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD in the pkgbuild directory, it's missing MD5SUMs.

rent0n: The icons used are stock icons, so they can also be changed with your gtk icon theme.

Solved it with rent0n's solution.

I've tried with no success. Can you explain me how to do that?

copy

md5sums=('b4c65d72cdb54b9b60aebeec946429cb')

to PKGBUILD and run makepkg

Thanks, very helpful.
However I was asking about changing icons!

i've tried netcfg-tray and it works fine for me, i've tried a cable connection and my wifi open connection, but i think that it's missing an important feature: a wifi signal displayer that should displays the quality of wifi, so for example 40%, 100%

As far as I'm concerned don't implement this, leave is as it is. If I want this kind of information I will configure conky to display it.

I've a strange problem with conky because i'm trying to check the wifi link signal with the option of conky "wireless_link_qual_perc wlan0" but i can't see it because it displays me "unk" instead of the value of the signal, why?

toketin · 2009-12-07 11:45:47

a simple question, if i loss the connection to wifi netcfg will reconnect immediately?

Don't know about that, I use the following code to see the quality of the signal

Link Quality${alignr} ${wireless_link_qual wlan0} %

Maybe it will help you.

toketin · 2009-12-08 21:15:15

yes i've solved the problem by starting conky with sudo

Is this project still alive?
I really like it but it seems not to be maintined anymore.

The PKGBUILD has always the same problem related to the package integrity check and the package itself probably needs to be updated to reflect the changes in the new version of netcfg.

Thank you!

Has this project been abandoned? Been using it ever since, but the python3 rebuild broke it.
